For Sale: My new book is on the 25-pdr

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Hanno,

Thanks for your comments about Krystii's work. She did a fantastic job. Of course, I'm not the first or only person to write about the Yeramba, indeed, I've published articles on the Yeramba before. As I don't know the extent of your research into the subject, I don't know if there is any information in that chapter which is not already known to you.

All I can say is that the chapter is based upon my examination of the available surviving archive files, the various handbooks, interviews with former members of the regiment that operated them, examination of surviving examples, a collection of images from official sources (both Army and the ordnance factory that built them) and images taken privately by former members of the regiment. I'd like to think it is a pretty comprehensive chapter and appendix, but the final decision on that will, of course, rest with readers.

Mike
